Do you have a grooming regime?

Before I sleep, I take care to cleanse, tone and moisturise my face and I also believe in regular facials. Besides, I always make sure to find the time to brush my teeth three times a day. As much as possible, I also try to eat healthy food – fruit, vegetables, white meat, nuts, etc. I always try to drink as much water as I can.

What’s the number one fashion item you couldn’t live without, and why?

A spacious, fashionable handbag – it’s amazing how many things can be found in my bags.

Do you prefer dining out or clubbing? And why?

Dining out – I love to relax by sharing a meal and a great glass of wine in the company of family and friends.

What’s the most money you have ever spent in one go?

I don’t normally spend a lot of money at one go and I’m not a very keen shopper, but when I’m abroad, I tend to forget about all sorts of budgets and spend money on visiting cultural places, eating out in nice restaurants and of course, in clothes shopping as I prefer to buy clothes when I am abroad. Once, I spent around 600 euros in one shop on clothes, accessories and shoes! This was definitely a one-off though!

Do you usually hoard things or regularly throw stuff out?

I normally hoard things. I hate throwing things away things- who knows when an old piece of clothing, a pair of shoes or a colourful handbag might come in handy – maybe it can someday be used for a play
